Instant Video Consultation, Medical Certificates, Prescriptions, Referrals, Pathology/ Radiology Requests

Health Services 4U (HS4U) is a Healthcare platform that provides you with the ability to book a medical consultation or an Allied Health Services appointment with ease via our online booking platform as well as Instant Video consultation with your favourite GP.

Our Instant Consult Service relieves you from the burden of travelling to a clinic through heavy traffic and waiting in a clinic for boring hours exposing you for other patients; instead, now you can be at the comfort of your home and chat with your GP using your smart phone, tablet or lap-top.

(With our telehealth appointments there is no need to book appointments; just request a consult and the first available doctor will contact you, if you have no regular doctor. In the event that you are not eligible for a bulk-billed consult, our costs are quite reasonable and cheaper than a private practice consult.)

Doctors of HS4U are professionally qualified, well-experienced and Vocationally Registered GPs with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and maintain the standards introduced by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural & Remote Medicine (ACRRM) for medical services.

Apart from Instant Consult, HS4U provides you the options of obtaining Medical Certificates, Prescriptions (including Repeats), Specialist Referrals, Pathology Requests and Radiology Requests, as well as offer general medical advice.

Consultation charges are based upon the duration of the consult, similar to that of a visit to a local medical clinic. Issuing a medical certificate is a desecration of the GP; however, the GP may require the brief history of your medical background as well as previous medications in the event of issuing a medical certificate. So, you may have to have the details ready.
